Veo que el foro es típicamente 'operático', sólo preocupados de los agudos, pocos conocimentos, fanáticos de algún cantante. Una pena por la música y por los compositores. Saludos

Y a éste quién le movió la jaula? :blink:

Viejo, yo estudié 6 años de canto con la más grande soprano dramática de Chile. Y soy un fanático de la música clásica desde hace 20 años, con una colección nada despreciable de CDs. Así que no cometas la imprudencia de venir a catalogar a la gente sólo por algunos comentarios hechos en un foro.

Por lo demás, el foro no es operático; muy pocos escuchan ópera acá. Y sólo un puñado escucha regularmente música clásica.

Pero Di Stefano me encanta, con todos sus defectos. En el canto, los defectos a veces dan personalidad, y a veces son defectos de verdad.

Sorry por entrometerme, pero despues de leer en el post a Del Monaco, Gigli, Gedda, etc, me acordé de una persona que vende actualmente una soberbia colección de vinilos de óperas. Para mi, escapaba de presupuesto, pero quizás entre varios...

Me encontré con este video de Francesco Merli, uno de los mejores tenores dramáticos de la primera mitad del siglo XX, y me asombró la interesante biografía que aparece en la descripción del video:

Francesco Merli (1887-1976) was born into a family of humble means on a farm just outside Milan. The young man began his working life as a school janitor but always displayed a talent for singing. Merli had a few scattered voice lessons over the years, but never completely took his singing seriously. However, in June of 1913, the Milan City Council sponsored a concert at the Teatro dal Verme, intended to encourage musical education in the city’s schools. As a school janitor who was popular with students, Merli was asked to participate in the program. With two other vocalists, he sang the trio from Verdi’s I Lombardi, impressing all in attendance with his powerful voice. So impressed was the city council, that they promoted Merli from school janitor to janitor of the municipal offices! Perhaps the honor of sweeping floors at Milan’s government buildings was not quite the result Merli was expecting, for he began to turn his attentions more and more to singing. When famed conductor and impresario Cleofante Campanini organized an international competition for young singers in Parma the following year, Merli entered. He took first prize in the division for dramatic tenors and second prize overall. Coincidentally, the top prize was awarded to a fledgling tenor from Recanati…Beniamino Gigli. Merli’s rise to fame was not a smooth one, however. At the time of the aforementioned competition, he was essentially a natural singer with no real technique. A sponsor (Tullio Serafin’s brother) arranged for a stipend to be provided that would allow Merli to take a one year leave of absence from his city janitorial duties. Arrangements were also made to pay for the young tenor’s vocal studies. However, this good fortune came to a grinding halt when Merli was conscripted into the Italian Army. He continued vocalizing in the trenches and, according to an entry in his diary, entertained both his comrades and the enemy Austrian soldiers while singing “Cielo e mar” at the front lines! Merli came through the war unscathed and made his debut toward the end of 1916 in the small role of Alvaro in La Scala’s production of Spontini’s Fernand Cortez. In the fall of 1918, he made a second debut at La Scala, this time in the more substantial role of Elisero in Rossini’s Mosè in Egitto. This was the beginning of a long association with this prestigious theater. It also marked the start of a major international career for the tenor. Over the course of the next thirty years, Merli appeared in the major theaters of Verona, Florence, Palermo, Naples, Padua, Trieste, Rome (singing Calaf in the Roman premiere of Turandot), London (he was also Covent Garden’s first Calaf), Sydney (yes, he was the first Calaf there, too), Melbourne, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires and New York. His Met debut came on March 2, 1932 as Radames in Aïda. However, after singing only eight performances of four operas, including Lucia di Lammermoor, Simon Boccanegra and Madama Butterfly (as well as a pair of concerts), Merli was taken ill and had to return to Italy. Sadly, he never again returned to the U.S. Merli’s repertoire was vast, encompassing over 40 roles in such works as Pagliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana, Siberia, Andrea Chénier, La Fanciulla del West, Manon Lescaut, Turandot, La Gioconda, Carmen, Samson et Dalila, Lohengrin, Die Meistersinger, Fidelio, La Forza del Destino, Ernani, I Lombardi, Il Trovatore and, what was considered his greatest triumph, Otello. He sang nearly 300 performances as the Moor, culminating in a final Otello in Trieste in 1946. The veteran tenor retired two years later and devoted himself to teaching during the final three decades of his life. Merli passed away in Milan in December of 1976, just six weeks shy of his 90th birthday. Francesco Merli’s recorded legacy, preserved on scores of discs made for Columbia between 1926 and 1937, includes a complete recording of Il Trovatore and the very first complete recording of Turandot. These recordings reveal a sturdy, well balanced dramatic tenor, capable of explosive top notes as well as some truly delicate singing. In this recording, Merli sings "Meco all' altar di Venere" from Bellini's Norma, complete with a brilliant high C (which contradicts reports that this dramatic tenor didn't possess the note!). This was recorded for Columbia in Milan on June 25, 1936.

Es un papel  hecho para él, a la medida. No creo que a nadie le salga mejor Parmi veder, que es una de las arias para tenor lírico más difíciles que existen, necesitas un fiato enorme, va subiendo todo el rato, y ya para el agudo estás muerto. Krauss la canta sin esfuerzo aparente. 

Cada día lo admiro más, creo que es uno de los mejores líricos del siglo, y lo prefiero mil veces a Pavarotti (empatan en cuanto a técnica y condiciones de sus aparatos, pero Krauss es mucho más refinado y con mejor gusto).

Ese video es impresionante, sobre todo cuando al final da el último Do caminando hacia el público cagado de la risa, como diciendo "toma!":lol: Dar un Do así, caminando, con lo difícil que es mantener la presión de aire a esa altura...uf! Sólo un maestro de maestros puede hacerlo.
